The Audacity of Death June 5, 2008

Many people are talking about the fact that the nomination of Barack Obama is a historic moment for the United States of America. He is the first African-American to be in such a position. This is truly a historic moment in the life of our country. Yet for Christians there is an even bigger historic aspect of this nomination. Barack Obama is the most anti-life candidate to ever be nominated for the office of President.

Mr. Obama has compiled a 100% lifetime “pro-choice” voting record, including votes against any and all restrictions on late-term abortions and parental involvement in teenagers’ abortions.

To Mr. Obama, abortion, or “reproductive justice,” is “one of the most fundamental rights we possess.” And he promises, “the first thing I’d do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act,” which would overturn hundreds of federal and state laws limiting abortion, including the federal ban on partial-birth abortion and bans on public funding of abortion.
